This game started out great. Tim Anderson continued his dominance over Tarik Skubal with a leadoff single. Andrew Benintendi hit into a fielder’s choice. With no outs and runners on first and second, the White Sox did — you guessed it — nothing.
The Tigers must have wanted to follow the visitor’s lead because in the bottom of the inning they had runners on first and second with one out, and the bases loaded with two outs, yet also came up empty-handed.
An awkward play up up the middle for Lenyn Sosa in the bottom of the second inning allowed Jake Rogers to score the first run of the game.
